I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Facing the Future

From the Tarot of the Abyss, the Ten of Cups; from the Nature Mandala Meditation Oracle, Hope:

A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.
– Albert Einstein

There's no permanent rainbow or castle here, yet this woman joyfully pulls her partner along as they travel the bounds of their home. They focus on gratitude for all that is good in their life, rather than remaining centered on what they lack. Their secret is knowing how to find wonder, appreciation, and fulfillment in the simple and ordinary. The Hope card reminds me of a quote by Robert Schuller: "Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future." When we are grounded in joy rather than anger, in generosity instead of fear, and in openness rather than rigidity, what a huge difference it makes as we face the future.
